Redman: Muddy Waters (1996). From Out of the Mud, Emerged A Masterpiece

B. Cox & J. Owe review Redman's classic third album Muddy Waters. After a successful sophomore album Dare Iz A Darkside and a time when Redman self admitted he was in a dark place and time, the Brick City emcee linked back up with fellow Def Squad member Erick Sermon to close out the ultra competitive year of 1996. Displaying a level of emceeing not seen often by even the top emcees and funky, soulful and innovative production by the likes of Sermon and Rockwilder, Redman delivered his best work yet in a way that only he could do; With blunt force punchlines, unforgettable references and his unique brand of humor through a number of classic skits. In the 25 years since its release, it has reached epic proportions among critics, hip-hop peers and fans alike and is often mentioned as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time.Visit The Vault Classic Music Reviews Onlinewww.vaultclassicpod.comJoin our Private Facebook Listener Group!https://www.facebook.com/groups/600256077743122Support The Vault Classic Music Review on Buy Me A Coffeehttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/vaultclassicpodShow Notes: Albumism: Redman 'Muddy Waters' Turns 25 | Anniversary Retrospectivehttps://www.albumism.com/features/tribute-celebrating-25-years-of-redman-muddy-watersBehind The Rhymes: When Redman Should Make Every Top 5: The Muddy Waters Anniversary https://behindtherhyme.com/2016/12/10/redman-muddy-waters-album-anniversary/RockTheBells: A Stoned-Out Rap Masterpiece: Redman's 'Muddy Waters' at 25 https://rockthebells.com/articles/redman-muddy-waters/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-vault-classic-music-reviews-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
